I know from experience that our church (the United Church of Canada) did a lot of work visiting people in hospitals and nursing homes, bringing families in from the cold during the winter, donating to charitable efforts in foreign countries, etc.

They also play a crucial role in protecting child predators. On the whole I'd say the church does more harm than good in our society
